I need torque, tons of it, and at low rpm. Especially going uphill. There aren't many straights on the roads I go on, so I need to get around a car in several seconds or less. Plus brake and lean for the next curve. God, I love it here.

I hear what your saying... and I had this exact conversation with a friend of Rae's... actually he's a member here...
but any idiot can ride a liter bike fast... just twist the wrist... the torque is gonna get you up to speed quick...
a 600 takes more skill to ride fast as it doesn't have that torque or power to cover your mistakes. I'd rather learn how to ride the 600 right... then possible (probably not though) move up to a 1000 where I can apply that technique. ya know?
not saying every liter bike riders are all idiots... just that I wanna learn what I can from the 600 before (if ever) I move up
